Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

The Animalier movement emerged in nineteenth-century France, defined by artists who specialized in creating realistic, naturalistic sculptures of animals, focusing on precise anatomy and movement.

These sculptures were cast in bronze, often using the lost-wax (cire perdue) process, and mounted on bases crafted from marble, alabaster, or slate to create visual contrast.

Authentic pieces typically feature cast artist signatures, crisp details in the metalwork, genuine age-related patination, and substantial weight consistent with solid cast metal.

A bronze animal sculpture works effectively as a focal point on a wooden desk, positioned within a bookshelf, or centered on a fireplace mantelpiece in classic or contemporary settings.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or soft-bristled brush, and occasionally apply a thin coat of clear microcrystalline wax to protect the patina.
